@antlionai @memeticsisyphus I guess you could argue it's an economic issue

@memeticsisyphus The 26% who dont think the Death Penalty is a moral issue is alarming to me.
Im pro death penalty, but its obviously either acceptable or Evil,
English
Rightness and wrongness of these issues isn’t nearly as interesting as the massive amount of people who view their actions as having no moral consequences either way.

@KenMasters6152 @WomanDefiner Getting molested as a teen sounds great until she wants a relationship
Most grown men couldn't put up with shit like this every day, that kid got saved by the cops
English
@WomanDefiner I’m sure it can be a weird situation, but the message that having sex with an older woman as a teenager is some horrible trauma or scarred-for-life ordeal is silly.
English
I don't want ruined 30 year old women ruining young men. I get it a bunch of you are living vicariously through these kids but societally and morally what these women are doing should be punished for the duration of their lives.

@WomanDefiner Leave them alone

@FrancisMarcus97 @wylfcen Buck v bell was retarded because the rapist should've been sterilized instead, and eugenics does not mean "sterilization/camps"
We can tell if an embryo will have heritable diseases like downs or Huntingtons at 5 days old. In a few decades we'll be using CRISPR to undo it
English
@Beachook @wylfcen He wrote is at the time Oliver Wendell Holmes was writing "3 generations of imbeciles are enough" and the state of Indiana had punitive, involuntary sterilization programs. And a generation before the Nazis decided to start a large scale euthanasia program.
Ahead of his time.

@WomanDefiner Lmao, I can at least understand the wannabe famous attitude for esports (if he was 15) but $500 a week on skins?
English
@FrancisMarcus97 @wylfcen He died in a time where the average kid born with, say, downs wouldn't make it to 10 years old
Good for him being able to say that while nature took care of the problem, but now we have multiple generations of kids predisposed to cancer because we got so good at saving them
English
Sorry, Chesterton already refuted this brainstorm comprehensively.
"I do not know if planned medical supervision of breeding might succeed in creating a race of strong, confident men in control of their destiny. But I do know that if it did, their very first act would be to smash the medical supervision."
You can have crawling slavery, or you can have healthy, capable human beings. You don't get to pretend that crawling slavery is healthy.

@punished_bobda $1200 a month is about what it would cost to own the median house sold in 2000, including insurance and property tax
Unless he lives in California or got in on some pre-2008 0% down mortgage, dude got scammed
English
boomers are like "just buy a starter home with a payment which is double your salary"
Mahershalalhashbozy@Hashboz
My starter home was $1200/mo 25 years ago. Adjusted for inflation that payment today would be $3150/mo. So yes, that could be considered a starter home for some, actually. Stop putting your inflation ignorance on full display.

@UsingLyft That old retard in the audience who pretended to be the shooter had CP on his phone, too
English
@NotACannibalRN @Davelite93 @crusadepepe I'd honestly be fine with that if they needed it, but to pull out $60k in SS, a couple would have to *average* more than $160k annually in the 35 years leading up to retirement
English
English
@WomanDefiner They included in the article that the median retiree gets paid an equivalent to ~$29 an hour full time. Sorry about the market-rate housing though, that must be really tough
English
The average age of a first time homebuyer is 41. If Rent prices are high for seniors they are extra high for people who are young. Get your head out of your butt.
FOX 9@FOX9
Rising rent prices across the U.S. are putting growing pressure on retirees living on fixed incomes, with many now spending close to or above the recommended 30% of their income on housing. fox9.com/money/financeb…

@GeringerAdam I almost never advocate for kicking your kids out of the house, but your kid graduating for the 3rd time and going "I think I need 1 more degree" sounds like a perfect time to do so
English
@CryptoMikli Out of the 10 largest cities in the US, the ones with rent control are *way* more expensive than the ones without. Housing is ~60% cheaper in the cities without rent control
English
Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work
“It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing”
“Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”
English
@astewart42 @CryptoMikli Build more. Phoenix permits 3x more housing per capita than NYC, which is why their median rent is $1500
English
@CryptoMikli So what’s his solution for uncontrolled rent increases then? It’s a problem… what’s his solution?
English
@cremieuxrecueil Weird that the DFW metro builds almost as much housing as all of California combined, and their median house costs ~50% less than one in California
I'm sure that's unrelated
English
The cited study didn’t even test the claim.
It was just:
Selective literature review, irrelevant correlations, assumed supply elasticity, ignored migration/finance/filtering, then declared building can't fix affordability by their arbitrary definition.
Basically fake.
Kate Willett@katewillett
A major new study has confirmed what many of us know from reading all previous research. Socialists in NYC should care about this, bc Mayor Mamdani has filled his administration with developer hawks in hopes of delivering the Affordability Agenda. It won’t.
English
@yosoymario91 Yeah their idea of a "farm" is the pensioned retiree who has like 3 cattle and a chest freezer. It isn't anywhere near the guy with a $300k tractor busting ass at 4 AM
English
Love it when white women post shit like this, when in real life this is what 90% of farming looks like
Pamela@PamelaBies
Advice to the younger generation: Skip the degree. Buy land. Become a farmer.
English
@KamalKoSalam @constans Same as always, war in Israel and slopulist market controls, lol
Arab countries that were fighting with Israel cut oil to the US, causing shortages
Then, the US put price controls on oil, making shortages even worse
English
@constans Is it because of the gold standard was dropped and took a while for the new system to settle in?
English
70s inflation was so drastic that by 1980, just 14 years later, this was an embarrassingly low white collar salary.
MWT@mountainwesttax
for anyone else watching mad men and wondering about inflation adjusted numbers, a 1966 salary of $19k is $195k today
